How important industrial safety @ work place? (How we can prevent Accident in industry)




In industry how you can manage safety while working and how we can reduce the ratio of accident. There are many ways to get control on accident before working in industry a worker must have the basic important knowledge of using personal protective equipment’s.


1. Rules of safety @ workplace: Let me ask you a good question why the rules of occupational of safety are generated for industries. In answer there are some basic rules where by following you can reduce ratio of accident industries. Below are some major rules or I can say a quick guidance to prevent yourself from accident?


2. HIGH RISK SITUATIONS: You cannot start up or start down any equipment without having proper knowledge of that machine. Well while doing same you may put yourself in danger.


3. MACHINE & TOOLS: Do not carry unnecessary Tools with you if you do not have to work with that tool that may cause a physical harm.


4. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: These is a major part while working in industries.   You have to wear a suitable PPE (Personal Safety Product) according to your work. I.e. Helmet, Hand Gloves,  Safety Shoes, Respiratory System(Mask), Safety Eye Wear, etc.


5. WORK PERMITS: Do not perform work without a valid work permit.     Any work performed on site requires a permit. If you do not have knowledge of that so you can be in Danger.





6. LIFTING: Do not walk under a load while lifting is taking place. For any work involving a crane, hoist or other mechanical system, a preliminary risk analysis is required. Equipment must be in good condition. Personnel must be qualified and access to the area must be restricted.


7. WORK ON POWERED SYSTEMS: Do not perform work without checking that the power and product source supply has been rendered inoperative.


Some works require the energy to be safely discharge or the equipment to be purged and vented. In such cases a lockout system is set up to isolate the energy or product according to a specific method.


8. CONFINED SPACES: Do not enter a confined space until isolation has been verified and the atmosphere checked.


Do not enter a confined space (container, tank, well, etc…) without supervision and only after the atmosphere and isolation have been checked.


9. EXCAVATION WORK: Do not perform excavation work without a valid work permit comprising a map of all underground hazards.


Manual or mechanical excavation work, including dragging rivers and seabeds, can only start after a risk analysis has been performed to identify all hazards in the zone and related precautions have been taken.


10. WORKING AT HEIGHTS: Do not work at heights without a safety harness when there is no collective protective equipment.


Work at heights is performed on fixed or mobile platforms with a guardrail designed for the task at hand.Work on rooftops (buildings, reservoirs) is performed only after the roof's solidity has been checked and appropriate protection has been set up.Ladders are a means of access only; their use must remain exceptional.


11. CHANGE MANAGEMENT: Do not make any technical or organizational changes without prior authorization.







Any changes in technique or organization must be the subject of a risk analysis.
